Jug with Red Spot on White by Rachel Nicholson
Rachel Nicholson is a British artist celebrated for her serene still-life and landscape paintings. The daughter of Ben and Winifred Nicholson, she developed a distinctive artistic language defined by soft, muted tones and carefully structured compositions.
Her work often depicts everyday objects and architectural forms, rendered with a quiet, meditative quality. Jug with Red Spot on White (1979) is a refined example of Nicholson’s still-life painting. A single jug, placed against a softly toned background, is punctuated by a striking red spot—an understated yet effective focal point. Created as a work on board, the piece demonstrates Nicholson’s sensitivity to texture and surface, with its restrained palette and delicate balance of form and space creating a sense of harmony and stillness.
Nicholson’s paintings reflect both her modernist lineage and her own deeply personal approach to colour and form. Her work continues to be highly regarded for its poetic restraint and timeless aesthetic.
